Workshop Topics CREW-4

From CrewWiki

Topic 1: Cloud parameter retrieval methods
(retrieval parameterizations, optimal estimation, combined retrievals, error estimates)

Topic 2: Cloud parameter retrieval evaluations
(validation (against active sensors and in-situ observations), inter-comparisons, uncertainty estimate assessments, and sensitivity analysis)

Topic 3: Cloud parameters for nowcasting and forecasting applications
(severe weather, aviation, early warning, and data assimilation)

Topic 4: Cloud parameter datasets for climate and weather research
(aggregation methods, CMIPS comparison, dataset stability and trend analysis, reanalysis verification, evaluation of model parameterizations, and satellite simulators)
